That makes two of us.
I've been trying to unsubscribe to many lists for
weeks.

Subject: [vsnet-chat 5889] The Negative
Effects of the VSNET Email Policies
I'm another person frustrated by the VSNET email lists. After
multiple
attempts to unsubscribe I'm resorting to bringing it up on this
list.
First, and most importantly, please let people unsubscribe from
VSNET
lists automatically. Whomever is the admin of these lists apparently
does not check their email! The whole purpose of list software such as
majordomo is to take the human-intervention out of routine requests
such as unsubscribe.
Second, I never signed up for VSNET lists in
the first place. One day I
found myself subscribed to many, many VSNET
lists. In one way, I am
honored. My name was probably noticed on the AAVSO
list or something.
Still, it is very bad form to subscribe people to lists
without their
permission.
VSNET is really, really cool and does
great work. Do not jeopardize
this reputation by forcing multitudes of
emails down our throats. Do
not subscribe people without their permission
and allow people to
unsubscribe automatically.
Thanks for
listening.
